To me, the Simpsons has two lives
The Simpsons with Phil Hartman
The Simpsons after Phil Hartman died
The show was not the same the instant the guy who was Troy Mcclure, Evan Connover, Lionel Hutz, etc died
Heres a more recent Simpsons reference (still at least 10 years old but you get what I mean)
^ "Indestructible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I think Phil Hartman’s loss certainly changed the Simpsons but for me when it really went down hill/jumped the shark, however you wish to describe it, was when Maude Flanders was killed. I don’t really know why either but it just changed it for me. Unfortunately I don’t watch the Simpsons anymore which is a pity as it’s such a good show but knowing how fantastic it was in its early years to now I think I expect a bit more from it. It would be hard to keep coming up with original and funny stories over such long period so I can’t blame them. It just had such a big place in my life growing up that I didn’t even realize how many memories, words and phrases are stuck in my memory from it. I continually blurt and out jokes and phrases from the Simpsons without meaning to, it’s a part of my vocabulary for some reason and I’ll either get a weird or very approving look from people
And now back to the thread.
When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces, I just know they're about to jab me with something.
Also another qoute

Its also the people we have become and our tastes, and even though we dont like to do it, theres always a comparison
How can a show like The Simpsons today stand up against something like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos etc. Or heck, if you want to compare comedy: The Gruen Transfer!
To use an analogy in another area in showbusiness - the music industry, its like how R.E.M or U2 were a couple of my favourite bands, and then newer bands came along with fresh ideas and a new sound, we might revisit the old stuff by our old favourites, but the new stuff by the old guard is just not going to stand up against whats out there now

Agreed, Hartman is sorely missed on the Simpsons and also agree with Maude Flanders being killed, was an unnecessary death in my opinion
Homere? Who is Homere? My name is Guy Incognito!
*gasp* Oh my god! This man is my exact double!
And that dog's got a puffy tail!

The issue was the actor that voices Maude Flanders also died
What? No she didn't. She moved interstate then asked for a pay rise, got refused and quit the show. Where the hell did you hear that she died?
I thought she died as well, I misheard
either way it was definitely a change in cast and apparently they were not happy with the new voice for Maude Flanders
The new voice for Maude Flanders only featured in the one episode, where Maude was killed off.
The former voice actor settled her pay dispute with the show and agreed to do VA's for them again a couple of years later, which is why Maude's voice is back to normal when she appears as a ghost or flashback in recent episodes.

It was going down hill long before Maude died. Season 9, episode 2 "The Principle and the Pauper" where Skinner was shown to be an impostor, was when it began.
Lisa: Yuch. [aside to Homer] I'll get us out of this. [louder] Say Dad, wanna go see my project for the school science fair.
Homer: [winks] No, Lisa. But I sure don't want to eat this crappy breakfast.

They might have 'jumped the shark' then, but it was still funny
Hey, listen! Now, my story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say ‘dickety’ ’cause the Kaiser had stolen our word ‘twenty’. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles.
Alright, who broke my vase?
Who took all my test papers off the refrigerator and tore them up?
Who spread garbage all over Flanders’ yard before I got a chance to?
Oh please, this is senseless destruction with none of my usual social commentary.
